Buck Pierce traded for Akeem Foster

[voodoochylde]

What's with the "Buono doesn't like Foster" meme going on here? Anyone full me in?

[braddman19]

If he really wanted to jab at Mack, he would have traded us Westerman for Buck LOL

[Mr. Perfect]

Considering the writing was on the wall, to get a receiver, a NI no less, regardless of his status this year is a good thing. Good move by Walters.

[M.O.A.B.]

Cory Watson for Chris Best anybody?

 

shoot he's on 9-gamer

 

hmmm...

 

Cory Watson for Bomben ?

[OldSchoolBlue]

Jokes aside, I suspect that Foster asked for a trade and Buono is simply doing his friend Buck a solid. 

 

Remember Buono released Buck years ago simply because he couldn't stay healthy .... what exactly has changed since then? I think Buck is done/cut/retired after the season is over.

 

I'm going to miss Buck's potato chips though.

I hope BC traded for that god awful Danny's Whole Hog franchise too.

[pigseye]

Peach or Bergman from the Stamps is my bet.

[TrueBlue]

I hope BC traded for that god awful Danny's Whole Hog franchise too.

Off topic but does Buck have an invested interest in Danny's Whole Hog? Or are they just partners in a restaurant?

[TrueBlue]

Gotta think Poblah would be the guy on the move.

Or Watson.

My first guess was Watson. Poblah doesn't have the value yet.

Poblah's value isn't going to increase sitting on the bench or dropping balls. If he gets traded, it's for his "potential" not past production.

Lol....potential.

Danny and Bucks restaurant which is the old Hus on first. I went once and thought it was great. Definitely better then Woody's and Famous Dave's. No idea why the hate?

[Brandon]

Why do people want to trade Watson he's a good player. Poblah can go and same for Edwards if he has any value

[iso_55]

Is Buck actually gone? Is it April 1st? is it a dream &  I'm about to  wake up? Wally didn't want him 3 years ago. Why does he  want him now?  Lots of confidence in Rob DeMarco.

[iso_55]

great move by Walters.  Just shows you how  useless  Mack  was.

[Blueandgold]

Wow we went from having Brock Ralph and Aaron Hargreaves to Watson, Etienne, Kohlert, Foster and Poblah. If we trade anyone I hope its Watson or Poblah and not the Regina boys.

[M.O.A.B.]

you know the good news about this ?

#4 is now available and we can strip the #6 off Levi Brown  ;D

We've hardly seen Watson at 100% since his rookie season.  He has a good game every now and then and is a tough football player, he blocks well, but really he probably doesn't have much left in the tank as a solid contributor, although Ottawa coming in will help extend his career.  If we can get a NI better than what we've got at another position or a high draft pick (top 2 rounds) for him I'd take it no questions asked.

[James]

I'm excited for Levi brown vs hall next year. Excited about our Canuck reciting depth. I hope we're still trying to get a good Canuck o-lineman. If Walters can do that, he'll have my vote for GM for sure, as well as everybody else's.

[Captain Blue]

This is the freaking steal of a decade.  Pierce had the trade value of a used football...and not even one that was gently used.

 

I LOVE what Walters has done so far.  He's winning me over, and quickly.  If he promises to get rid of the coaching staff, I might be sold on him.

[rebusrankin]

This deal is making it hard for me to dislike Walters.

[The Unknown Poster]

Disappointed in all the glee here. Buck wore his heart and on his sleeve and would go to war if need be for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. He deserves some respect and gratitude.

Having said that the trade had to happen. As long as buck was here the other guys would be looking over their shoulders. Great move by Walters.

I wonder about the timeline though. The "undisclosed" injury, Elliott being released last week. Etc

So what's Foster's story....

Why should I be disappointed to see Buck go?

 

He'll still live here in the offseason, he's a homeowner with a Winnipeg business and a Winnipeg girlfriend. All the good stuff he brings to Winnipeg will still be here.

 

And now he's gone from our football team.

 

That's a win-win in my books.

[sweep the leg]

I liked Pierce, but he had to go. To get this much value for him is fantastic.

[iso_55]

Buck was well paid NOT to  play all too often. Yeah, he gave a lot for the Bombers but it's a business. It was getting horrific watching him play as our starting qb... He has a new chance in BC. Hope he does great.

my god you are tiring.

I do love how a win and this trade improves morale in here completely. The eight losses have melted away.
